Cumulus MX Known Issues

This section was last updated for the MX beta by Steve Loft; that is no longer latest!

Appeal to contributors: Please work through all MX release announcements and work out all the many updates needed for this section, this page might benefit from a redesign, for more recent releases!

We need confirmation that those flagged as fixed, actually are fixed.

• There are issues with 'decimal commas' - particularly in the admin interface, but also in the 'engine'
• At some browser widths, the (admin interface?) menu wraps and obscures some of the content

• Web files without UTF-8 selected should use ISO-8859-1 not ASCII (causes 'odd' characters to appear) - should be fixed in 3037
• End of month/year copies of month.ini and year.ini are incorrectly named if 0900 start of day in use - should be fixed in 3037
• Dayfile.txt viewer can display an error message if dayfile.txt from Cumulus 1 is used - should be fixed in 3037
